BOSTON — Game 2 of the Canadiens-Bruins second-round series will begin shortly. In Game 1, the Habs won but did so largely without the expected services of Thomas Vanek, who was demoted to the fourth line for large stretches of the game.

Vanek is usually a first-liner and almost always a Bruins-killer. In Game 1, he was a non-factor, playing just 31 shifts for 18:58 of ice time in the double-overtime game. He was the only Montreal forward without a shot on goal.

Canadiens coach Michel Therrien was asked Saturday morning what can be done to get more out of Vanek.

"Well, you know, it's not about Thomas Vanek," Therrien said. "One thing that is not negotitable with our team and when we got here we tried to change the culture of our team, and the thing that's not negotiable -- attitude is not negotiable and competing is not negotiable. This is something we ask from every player on our hockey team. We have to make sure that everyone brings those to every single shifts and every single game. That's the way I see it.

"I'm not talking about one player, it's not one player. You can't judge a player with goals, points -- he's got a goal, he's got assists, but as a coach, I sometimes have to make adjustments because those things are not negotiable. … That's part of coaching. That's part of someone else getting more ice time. That's what we've done this season, and now that we're in the playoffs, we're not going to change our philosophy."

Therrien was asked if that message applies to Vanek.

"I'll keep that for myself," he said.

Vanek had a goal and two assists in the first round against the Lightning. The pending unrestricted free agent has 62 points in 55 career regular-season games against the Bruins.

Some other pregame notes:

- The Canadiens will make one change to their lineup. Michael Bournival is in for Travis Moen on the fourth line.

Moen played 25 shifts for 13:07 of ice time Thursday and was a minus-1. The 21-year-old Bournival played in all four games in the first round.

- The Bruins were similarly down 0-1 in their first-round series with the Red Wings before winning the next four.

At home in Game 2, the Bruins came out with a big burst of energy and physicality in the first period.

"That's how our team plays," said Torey Krug, asked if the Bruins expect a more physical game Saturday. "When we're playing well, that's what we're doing because we're playing very well. The first five minutes of the first period is going to be an indication of how we're going to play. I know the guys are chomping at the bit to get back out there and physical play overall is a big part of our team."

- Krug also commented on the chest-pounding celebration he did in Game 1 after his third-period goal. It was the same celly that Milan Lucic did in Game 5 against Detroit after a goal.

"It's just a little thing we've got going on," Krug said. "Nothing's as important as winning a hockey game. If you see us scoring bigger goals, you'll probably see us doing it."

No word on if they're trying to get a role in the sequel to 'Wolf of Wall Street'.
